RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Sefler 2018-04-17 22:42:53 UTC

Description of problem:

To documentation issues....
1. After the implementation of RFE Bug 1479353 that introduced the new "--after" command line option to the list module, we need a description for it in the man page under the LIST OPTIONS.

2. On the command line help description for the new "--after", we need to re-work the trailing part of the message due to subscription-manager commit  2e4c2b8ab686bd240b99acb8d9c149e4aa7010d8 "Condition requiring --after and --all is unnecessary"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.21.2-1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# man -P cat subscription-manager | grep -A10 -- "--after"
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# 

^^^ EXPECTED to find a description of the "--after" list option 


2.
[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# subscription-manager list --help | grep "after=AFTER" -A1
  --after=AFTER         show pools that are active on or after the given date;
                        only used with --available and --all


^^^ EXPECTED            only used with --available

Comment 2 John Sefler 2018-04-17 23:01:33 UTC

The bash completion is also missing....

[root@jsefler-rhel7 ~]# subscription-manager list --<TAB><TAB>
--all              --installed        --noproxy          --proxypassword
--available        --matches          --ondate           --proxyuser
--consumed         --match-installed  --pool-only        --servicelevel
--help             --no-overlap       --proxy  


^^^ EXPECTED to find "--after" in the bash completion list above

Comment 3 John Sefler 2018-04-18 11:05:31 UTC

I'd also like to suggest that the name of the "--after" option be changed to "--afterdate" to complement the "--ondate" option and to provide the user a clue that the option takes a date value.

Comment 6 Rehana 2018-08-21 06:18:07 UTC

Verifying on :
===========

subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates-1.21.7-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-rhsm-1.21.7-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.21.7-1.el7.x86_64


1. Man page now contains help for --afterdate option 

# man -P cat subscription-manager | grep -A3 -- "--after"
       --afterdate=YYYY-MM-DD
              Shows pools that are active on or after the given date. This is only used with the --available option.


2. Help is now updated stating the new option --afterdate should be only used with --available option

#  subscription-manager list --help | grep "afterdate=AFTER" -A2
  --afterdate=AFTER_DATE
                        show pools that are active on or after the given date;
                        only used with --available (example: 2018-08-21)


3. Tab completion now working for the new --afterdate option

# subscription-manager list --<TAB><TAB>
--afterdate        --available        --help             --matches          --no-overlap       --ondate           --proxy            --proxyuser        
--all              --consumed         --installed        --match-installed  --noproxy          --pool-only        --proxypassword    --servicelevel    

--afterdate is now listed the tab completion list of options 


Also as suggested in comment 3, the option --after is now changed to --afterdate

Based on the above observations, moving the bug to verified.
